About The Project

Soulmate(s) is a story sprung from the new reality of our generation in which women in their late 20s live together post-college, in a marriage-like relationship. In the vein of Obvious Child, Frances Ha, and Sideways, Soulmate(s) follows characters Samantha and Jessamine as their marriage-like relationship hits an impossible obstacle, which ultimately becomes their opportunity to grow up, grow apart, and grow together.

As women working in Hollywood, we have been frustrated by the lack of representation for women in film, especially with the types of roles that are available for women. So, we created a movie with two strong female leads driven to leave a positive mark on the world.

Soulmate(s) is also unique, because it takes place in a fresh setting: Vermont. All eyes are on Vermont right now, thanks to Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders. Sideways and Garden State are two successful film examples where the location acts as an essential character within the film. We grew up in Vermont and want to give homage to the incredibly special place that made us who we are. Our hometowns of Montpelier and Woodstock were named the number one and number ten best small towns in America. Vermont is one of the few places where the people pride themselves on community and a place where the people are always ready to fight for an important cause. Soulmate(s)brings attention to a current issue in Vermont: the potential corporatization of maple sugar farming. In the film, we create a community campaign called “Local Sap”. Through the campaign, the lead characters help to rally support for local farmers and fight against the new industrialized syrup company.

Our team is in development of Soulmate(s). Currently we are in the financing stage, the script is locked, and leading roles are casting. We will take our real-life friendship onto the reel-screen, playing leads Jessamine Parker and Samantha O’Sullivan. Ryan O’Neal is attached as Samantha’s father. Our team is pursuing other cast with Vermont connections such as Jake Lacy, William H Macy, Luis Guzman, and Whoopi Goldberg.
